Aruba's too far to save this battery. There's a great little marina in
Ta'Xbiex, Malta, I remember from when I was there.

See the yacht marina office up at the top of this map up Lazaretto Creek?

I doubt Ta'Xbiex has changed much since I rented a house there right after
independence from the British in the late 60's. It's a beautiful place.

Hmm...looks like they've added quite a few new slips since then, too!

Tell your friends you're going there and see how many can come even close

I've got a buddy in the BVI who would be very helpful giving advice on
your battery or other boat issues. He has both his Captain's papers and
his Surveyor Certificate. That would be a great place to while away
